As the sun begins to set, its orange hue glistening off the waves of the Hudson, and the bright lights of New York City begin to sparkle in the distance, you’ll quickly realize there’s no better place to enjoy a bistro meal than on Red Hat’s patio, which is steps from the river. (And don’t forget its rooftop bar for a pre- or post-dinner drink.)
